MEET YOUR THERAPIST
Hi, I'm Angelica.
I’m Angelica Esposito, MA, MSW, RSW, a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist. I bring curiosity, honest conversation, and a little humour when it fits the moment to our work together.
More about me and my professional training ↗TRAUMA & EMDR PSYCHOTHERAPY
What brings you to therapy?
Something may have happened recently, or you may have carried it for years. This is a place to talk about what’s affecting you and what you’d like to change.

BELIEFS & EMOTIONAL PATTERNS
The stories we learn to believe about ourselves
Experiences can leave us with stories about who we are. Even when those stories aren’t fair or accurate, they can affect our confidence, relationships, and choices.
“I'm responsible for other people's feelings.”
“I don't belong.”
“I'm not safe.”
“I have to be perfect.”
“My needs don't matter.”
These beliefs aren’t fixed facts about who you are. Therapy can help you understand the experiences behind them and develop a different perspective.
